RCB Sports was at the Kilkee “Hell of the West” Triathlon on Saturday to capture some of the days video highlights in Kilkee. Over 480 participants took part in the event in what was some early morning challenging weather for the swim.
The Kilkee Hell of the West Triathlon is an Olympic Distance Triathlon which is up and running since 1985 – making it one of the longest continuously running triathlons in Ireland and in the World. Organised by the Limerick Triathlon Club this race traditionally falls on the last weekend in June. Hell of the West starts with 1500m in the relatively calm waters of Kilkee’s Horseshoe Bay, followed by a 44km cycle against the winds of West Clare and a 10km hilly run along the rugged coastline of Loop Head.
